Comments from the Book Discussion Group at DeSoto Library regarding our April 2010 selection:



The Moonflower Vineby Jetta Carlton

The question was asked, “Would you recommend this book to someone else?”

Sue: "Yes. It shows us a picture of how life was years ago."

Maye: "It's the best we've read for a long time. I grew up in that area."

Jane: “I liked it too. I'm going to recommend it to some other people."

Janine: “Yes. Like A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, this work has endured and become a classic because the characters are true to their time and their problems speak to us."

Ann: "Yes. I enjoyed it."

Vicki: "Yes. Gives you a lot to think about."

Brenda: "Yes. It gives a view of a simple time that shows its own problems."

Marie: "Yes. I could relate to the whole story--the setting and characters."

Judy: "I liked it. I would recommend it to someone whose family had/has roots in that area."

Lara: "Yes. I really liked it too. I would especially recommend it to anyone who grew up in the Ozarks or southern Missouri."
